Commit to allow MPs a free vote on leaving the EU
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
The recent EU referendum was advisory, not legally binding. It does not override the responsibility of our elected leaders to act in the best interests of the UK. We call upon HM Government to commit to only cause the UK to leave the EU if this is supported by the majority of MPs in a free vote.
